Sustainable intensification of crop-livestock systems to improve food security and farm income diversification in the Ethiopian highlands Project Design Workshop 30 January - 2 February 2012, Addis Ababa Ethiopia
Presentation: Impact assessment and M&E in this program (Stan Wood, IFPRI)
This workshop provides an opportunity for a broad group of important stakeholders to both learn about the project plans and to share their views on expectations from and opportunities for synergies with the project (days 1 and 2) and for the core project team to finalize the project details (days 3 and 4).
Sustainable intensification of farming systems: M&E goals, implementation strategy and data analysis platforms.
M&E guiding principles:
Compliance with USAid's FtF, GoE and CRP;
Multi-scale, multi-site reporting: action site/sub-system and system reporting; country reports, regional reports, SSA reports.
Monitoring and projection: short term projections of key indicators, updated annually. Links with analytical tools.
Scaling indicators up and out (spatial & temporal) for various outcomes.
Open-access data and analysis platforms.
Required indicators to make you think about the selection of components etc.
Some 'required if applicable' indicators - looking at the integrated picture: measures of partial productivity are going to be complex and we might need some additional indicators in some areas e.g. individuals receiving short term training, value of incremental sales etc.
We will have to take some tough decisions later on re: indicators and M&E generally;
Monitoring and reporting levels: at action sites, sub-systems, larger systems (geographically disparate in Ethiopia and across the other project countries) - we need analytical tools for this!
We will overlay all information collected.
Impact pathway from a) sub-system resource potential (land, rainfall) to b) anthropization (market-access, population density) and c) site/household specific attributes( topography, endowment, household typologies). NEXT: look into spatial analysis to provide geographic definition and characterization.
Various tools to combine to provide us a big picture.
